Key and Certificate Configuration Scenarios 431

Installing CA-SignedThis scenario shows how to use CSRs to install public-private key pairs, Certificates Using a CA-signed certificates, and CA certifies for administrative access, 802.1X PKCS #10 Object File (EAP) access, and Web AAA access.

(CSR) and a PKCS #7

Object File

1Set time and date parameters, if not already set. (See “Configuring and Managing Time Parameters” on page 124.)

2Generate public-private key pairs:

WX1200# crypto generate key admin 1024 key pair generated

WX1200# crypto generate key eap 1024 key pair generated

WX1200# crypto generate key web 1024 key pair generated

3Create a CSR (PKCS #10 object file) to request an administrative certificate:

WX1200# crypto generate request admin

Country Name: US

State Name: CA

Locality Name: Cambria

Organizational Name: example

Organizational Unit: eng

Common Name: WX-2

Email Address: admin@example.com

Unstructured Name: wiring closet 12 CSR for admin is

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

4Copy the CSR into the CA’s application.

5Transfer the signed administrative certificate (PKCS #7 object file) from the CA to your computer.

6Open the signed certificate file with a text editor. Copy the entire file from the first hyphen to the last.
